Hi guys I've just purchased my first ever dwarf earlier today and he seemed fine on the drive home but once I placed him in the cage he started running around making little sniffing or Snuffling noises I got super worried and thought he may have a respiratory infection but he didn't make any sounds like that before I placed him in so is he just curious?

When he's sleeping the noises stop and sometimes when he's running around he stops making the sounds so I don't think it's the noise of him breathing as if it was I'm sure it would be continuous.

Should I wait a few days and see? Is this normal behaviour? Other than that he's eating and drinking fine and exploring and running the wheel

Any advice or has anyone experienced this?
